Title:  Project Bicycle Artist:  Aelters, Jab Mica Och El, Sun Ok Papi K.O., Secret Mommy, Dj Elephant Power, TU M, Romanhead, Uske N Label:  Ache Format:  12" Price:  € 12.00   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Eleven electronic / electro-acoustic artists from eight countries unify to pay homage to what listeners of BBC Radio 4s You and Yours radio program have voted as the most significant invention since 1800, beating computers, the internet, and even the combustion engine with more then half the total votes.
The concept is simple: Give a handful of today s most progressive sound designers only one sample to work with. They are able to manipulate this sample in any way they choose, but their entire song most be composed entirely from the single sound byte.
The supplied sample is a studio recording of a bicycle, recorded by Jesse Gander at The Hive Studios in Vancouver. This gives equal importance to the materials as well as the method used in PROJECT: BICYCLE. This, along with the beautifully written essay on bicycle riding and it is social, environmental, and physical benefits by Green Party Candidate, Sean Orr, offers a deeper concept to the project. With the inevitable threat of peak oil in our not too distant future, it is time we opened the lines of communication to other forms of energy and transportation.
The incredibly international list of artists (USA, CANADA, FRANCE, BELGIUM, GERMANY, DENMARK, ENGLAND, and ITALY) also furthers the concept, illustrating that peak oil, and global warming is everyone s concern, not just one country or region.
